The clocks may have gone back, but judging by the number of great walk reports posted on the Walkhighlands forum, people were out and about making the most of the month. October’s £100 1st prize Highlander voucher goes to Bonxie1 for The Inaccessible Pinnacle of Sgurr Dearg, a hat-trick hero – a great read and wonderful photos. Winning the runner-up £50 prize is NeachCoiseachd for Meall a’ Bhuachaille early before weather turns – often people’s first experience of the Cairngorms, this report captures the beauty of this short hillwalk from Glenmore. Congratulations to both winners and thanks to everyone who posted. To be in…

September turned out to be a great month with loads of great reports of all sorts of adventures.

The August runner-up £50 Highlander voucher prize went to Old Guys Do Ben Alder from Loch Ossian Youth Hostel. A great adventure with a few unexpected difficulties and plenty of frogs. Just a couple of mentions for reports which narrowly missed out on prizes. The judges were fascinated by the different conditions and photos in…

Fantastic to see everyone’s adventures in July on the Walkhighlands forum – plenty of mentions of clegs (horseflies) and midges but also a fair bit of sunshine for the school holidays. Vouchers for outdoor gear from Highlander are winging their way to the people behind two very memorable mountain days. 1st prize and a £100 Highlander voucher goes to teaandpies for Icon for 150  – an epic day on the Ring of Steall that seemed very unlikely only a few months before. The runner-up this time is another Walkhighlands forum regular, Dogplodder for From Black Mount splendour to car park torture which wins…
